Jeunesse Musicale World Big Band: the world’s leading international youth jazz orchestra, comprising 21 talented jazz musicians selected by an international jury through a global audition process. The band – an international programme of the youth music NGO ‘JM International’, founded in 1975 – works each year with some of the finest conductors, musicians and composers on the planet and performs on tour at prestigious European venues and jazz festivals.

Artistic and Musical Director: Luis Bonilla

The JM Jazz World Orchestra continues to thrive under the leadership of Luis Bonilla.

The American trombonist, composer and educator is an internationally recognised figure across various musical genres. He mentored the great Lester Bowie during his time as a trombonist in Bowie’s Brass Fantasy. He has performed as a member of the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra, the Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra with Arturo O’Farrill, the Mingus Big Band and Dave Douglas’s Brass Ecstasy. As a sideman, Bonilla has worked with artists of the calibre of McCoy Tyner, Dizzy Gillespie, Tom Harrell, Freddie Hubbard, Astrud Gilberto, Willie Colón and Toshiko Akiyoshi.

As a composer, bandleader and recording artist, Bonilla’s albums have been praised by leading jazz publications, with his 2010 release Twilight (Planet Arts) described by All About Jazz as “a well-balanced feast for the ears”. In the world of pop, Bonilla has recorded and toured with icons such as Tony Bennett, Alejandro Sanz, Diana Ross, Marc Anthony, La India, Mary J. Blige and, more recently, Phil Collins on his European and Latin American tours. Furthermore, Luis Bonilla has worked in music education at institutions such as Temple University, the Manhattan School of Music and the New England Conservatory. His dedication to the JM Jazz World Orchestra demonstrates once again that, as well as having worked alongside some of jazz’s greatest legends, he is committed to nurturing its future.
